The Man Who Claimed Trump Had an ‘Illegitimate Child’ Can Now Speak

Some of you may recall a story CNN published back in April of this year regarding a Trump World Tower doorman named Dino Sajudin. Sajudin had claimed that Mr. Trump had an affair with a housekeeper which resulted in an ‘illegitimate child,’ out of wedlock.

“Today I awoke to learn that a confidential agreement that I had with AMI (The National Enquirer) with regard to a story about President Trump was leaked to the press,” Sajudin said in a statement obtained by CNN back in April. “I can confirm that while working at Trump World Tower I was instructed not to criticize President Trump’s former housekeeper due to a prior relationship she had with President Trump which produced a child.”

Here we are, four months later, and things have changed considerably. David Pecker, the chairman and CEO of AMI has been granted immunity by the government for his testimony relating to the Michael Cohen case, and the confidential agreement signed between Mr. Sajudin and AMI is no longer valid.

CNN has learned from Marc Held, Sajudin’s attorney, that after back-and-forth discussions between his client and AMI, his client has been released from the contract, which would have sought $1 million if information related to the affair had been made public by Sajudin. CNN has also confirmed that the original contract was signed in November of 2015, five months after Trump announced his candidacy for president. The contract read as follows (source: user carc on Reddit.com)

Exclusive: Source shall provide AMI with information regarding Donald Trump’s illegitimate child; and any and all document, including but not limited to letters and any legal documents, and photographs in Source’s possession relevant to the Exclusive.

While Sajudin has yet to speak out on the child-producing affair, his attorney has confirmed that he will in fact be speaking soon.

“He is now able to speak about his personal experience with them, as well as his story, which is now known to be one of the ‘catch and kill’ pieces. Mr. Sajudin hopes the truth will come out in the very near future,” explained Marc Held.

Will yet another affair, this time resulting in a child, have an impact on Trump’s approval by his base? That’s anyone’s guess, but then again, the president likely has other things to worry about, which may have much more impact on the future of his presidency.
